I’ve heard today from someone that works in Tescos that the Douglas council have taken over the rights to Tesco car park and starting in a few weeks time, Some of the car park will be resurfaced and also it will become disk zone only. Anyone else have more news or is it all kept quiet so the council came slap £60 fines on most cars parked there all day?

There may be plans to use some sort of timing control, ANPR etc to stop the day parkers, maybe subcontracting it to Parking Controller who police other car parks? Tesco will pay a fee and get what is collected or someone like parkingeye will pay a fee and collect the "fines"

Take note, it is happening soon folks. I think Tesco have employed somebody to run the car park. They have been inundated with complaints about people parking their cars there for free then heading into work. Can't come soon enough

They've had ANPR down there for several year's now, maybe they've just been a bit slack on the enforcement side of things.

They might have done it at one time but they certainly don't do it now and haven't done for some time. I know someone who leaves their van there for hours every single day and he's never been challenged about it.

I think the Tesco staff got sick of being ignored. Even putting A4 stickers on the vehicles didn't do anything other than cause a litter problem in the car park. Get some barriers in there and offset the cost against your shopping. It works in ASDA in Warrington

Well, in a few weeks time they will be receiving a £60 fine. Well what I’ve been told from a worker there, they have hired/ paying for the council guys to come and ticket cars like they do on the prom for example. 2hr disk zone. It is happening and it’s about time it happens too!
